Spinning Web (10/3), Evans Secret (9/2), Spellacy's Cross (9/2), Emily In Paris (9/2), Mags Nelson (13/2), Southgate Avenue (8/1), Fortune The Brave (10/1), Captain P (10/1), Broken Ice (11/1), The Little Yank (12/1), Brilliant Light (14/1), Ballyglass Beauty (14/1), Western Ability (16/1), Irina's Path (20/1), Mon Storm (50/1)

Several to consider in what looks a wide-open contest. WESTERN ABILITY is interesting now venturing down the handicap route off a plausible mark and he shades preference ahead of Spellacy's Cross and Fortune The Brave, both of whom founds just one too good last time. Emily In Paris was also runner-up last time and Mags Nelson is worthy of consideration, too.
